Ami Kurata

She suffers from lack of confidence. She is hesitant to try new things, and needs encouragement and a slow approach towards getting started. She may be lacking somewhat in judgement, which can lead to bad outcomes, and tends to easily panic when things go awry. Pretty much every episode has her making a panicked face over something that she is struggling with. When she started University, she got a folding bicycle, primarily as a way to spend time with her best friend Aoi, who was riding a lot. With the increase of self-confidence which she got from that bike, she went on to acquire a road bike, so she could go on longer adventures with the experienced cyclists whom she had met.
